cliff, all of washington turns its attention one day after the fiscal cliff deal to the next fiscal cliff and that's going to be a fight over the debt ceiling coming in march. the treasury department has said it has some running room here to deal with the u.s. debt ceiling, but it will run out eventually, likely end of february or early march for that. and the deal that was just done here in washington did nothing about the so-called sequester, which is that dramatic series of spending cuts other than punt it for two months. that means early march will be another battle in spending in washington. if that's not enough, coming at the end of march will be a fight over what they call the continuing resolution. that keeps the american government financed and up and running. that runs out on march 27th which sets up another big battle over whether or not they can keep the government functioning here in washington, d.c. all of that is poisoning the atmosphere here in washington as people coming off this latest deal with bruised feelings and they know they have to go into another very tough
